Attention please.
I have definitive proof that the golf gti 3 is the best gti ever.
The following advert has... Everything.
Spanish speaking deep voiced male. For the ladies.
A golf mk3 in tornado red, for shady.
And.. A guitar solo.
Need. I. Say. More?

Think about this logically. Would VW really have used a guitar solo on a sub par GTI? No. They reserved this for the very best.
Enjoy. Prepare to be converted to mk3 golfs.
For all those people that will be undoubtably selling their mk5's and mk6's, be aware ... I fully expect those model prices to bottom out due to the mass trade in. However, because I am kind hearted, I will offer a swap for my mk3 anniversary for a ... Standard mk6 gti. As a favour.

Ahh. Sounds promising. If that's rusty then water has made it's way down there. Hopefully for your sanity it's a simple ecu earth re wire.

Yeah he seems to think it maybe either coil or crank sensor.Crank Sensor is only about 3 months old so i hope it aint that.Coil is about 18 months old and was fitted by AA when last one packed in on me.

Can't see it being crank if its 3 months old. Plus they are a pain in the fecking ass to fit because of the location. Could be coil pack I suppose, but not worth spending to find out when it could cost you 30 mins and 5 quid for some wire lol.

I dunno y, I'm getting the feeling you may need to re-align the throttle body again.
Try what vdubninja has suggested and then try aligning the throttle body and take things on from
there.

No reason, just a gut Feeling, coz this is what your car was doing before, until you had it re-aligned and it fixed it. It's not going to cost you owt to have it done is it?
Worth a try, take 2 lol
-
If thats the one by the temp sensor then thats only 3 months old aswell.What is the sensor on the side of the cylinder head behind the dizzy?

When i had the bonnet up today i had a good look around and noticed a couple of odd things,any ideas?

The yellow connector was tucked away under the drivers side wheel arch,think its a connector for one of the horns.
The other looks like an earth strap that i think was for the wing aerial,which i have disconnected.Its looked like that since the day i bought the car.

Not sure about the yellow plug, But the other is an earth strap, Not sure but i think thats for the heated washer jets or something along them lines, if i remember correctly. Theres also a main earth on the gearbox "Underneath i think" :rolleyes:
-
Ok cheers,i will have another look tomorrow.Gonna change the thermostat and flush the system out and get soaked again like today. :lipsrsealed:.The joys of owning a Mk3. :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Surprised that it wasn't earth.. :huh:

I think that yellow plug goes to your headlight dim dip resistor,earth strap connects to the bonnet they always break ,its to reduce fm interferance.
